The price of coffee

Two years and change ago, I discovered coffee at home as a doable, cost-saving thing. Sometimes I am a little late to the party of Obvious Things, but better late than never.

I ran some preliminary numbers on the cost to determine that yes, it was boatloads cheaper to make coffee at home. To that end, I have been making a concerted effort to do my coffee at home instead of buying it out and about. And I have better numbers now on how that is going.

Blast from the past...

In the different country that is the past, I used to own/operate a tiny little ISP in my tiny little town. It accepted credit cards, subject to the excessively high merchant account fees that were the order of the day. Now, I sold the ISP in 2007 and it doesn't have an EIN any more since we sold that to someone else. It hasn't filed a tax return in years. The business is closed.

But there's been a class action suit about the interchange fees related to accepting credit cards. I don't understand shit about it, but the business DID accept credit cards during the timeframe covered by the lawsuit.
